This invention relates to a toiletand tissue-paper package. v

a In hotels, sleeping cars, and other transient service, there is needfor a small, compact, and inexpensive package of toiletor tissuepaperwhich will also serve as a means of dispensing the paper. In and by thepresent invention I have provided such a package which is capable ofretaining a stack of interleaved sheets in compact form at all times,while permitting individual sheets to be readily andeasily Withdrawn.The part of the package constituting the holder is of such simple andinexpensive construction that it may without undue waste be discardedafter the sheets are used up.

In the accompanying drawing, I,

Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of a package of toiletor tissue-paperWithout the holder.

In forming the present package I make use of a stack of interleavedsheets 10, folded and interleaved as indicated diagrammatically in Fig.2. The stack containing a suitable number of sheets is foldedlongitudinally into the form shown in Fig. 3, thus providing a packagewhich in cross-section has a wedge-like form. This package is thenenclosed in a holder which may assume a variety of different forms, butin its preferred form is as shown in Fig. 1. This style of holderisformed of a single sheet of paper folded. into a loop 11 and heldtogether at its corners by staples or other fastening means 12, so

as to leave a slit at'the bottom through which sheets may be withdrawn-The edges of the holder may be indented as shown at 13, to permit theuser to'grip the edge of the lower and innermost sheet 14. The packagemay be provided with a tab 15 for hanging it up, which tab may beconveniently cut from the material forming the holder.

In the modified form of holder shown in.

holder. .to hold it intact by means of a suitable A In the use of thepresent. invent-ion, the I package is arranged as shown in Figs. 1 and4, with the interleaved sheets folded into a wedge-like form andenclosed and supported in the holder. with the edges of the inner sheetslying adjacent the slit in the bottom of the holder. The operatorthereupon grasps the lowermost sheet, which of course Wlll be the innersheet of the package, and upon withdrawing the same the next adjacentsheet will be partially withdrawn from the holder, due to the manner inwhich the sheets are interfolded. v a

A holder as herein shown can be made and assembled at slight cost, andhence it becomes POSSlblB to discard it after the sheets are used up.The stack being doubled or looped as shownv in Figs. 3 and 6, assumes aWedge-like form in which the innermost sheet is at the apex. Ittherefore is .in a position tobe easily grasped, and when withdrawn willcarry with it the leading end of the next adjacent sheet. The package iscompact and light, and may be carried conveniently in a travelershand-baggage. I e

Such a package as shown in Fig. 6 may be made and sold separate from theholder, for the purpose of refilling a suitable type of In suchinstances it is preferable band 19.

. Various changes in the construction and arrangement of the severalparts may be employed without departing from the spiritof to securefolded into a loop and enclosing the package,

and held together at its corners and leaving the edges betweenunsecured, so that a slit is provided, through which the sheets of thepackage maybe Withdrawn in successive order. Y

'A toiletor tissue-paper package comprising a stack of interleavedsheets folded 5 longitudinally to form a compact bundle having a'wedgeshaped conformation in crosssection, and a holder thereforconforming in shape to thehundle and arranged to exert yielding pressureinwardly on the sloping the sheets may be Withdrawn in successive order.
